Down and Dirty : The Plot to Steal the Presidency

In Down and Dirty, acclaimed journalist Jake Tapper takes readers deep inside the battle for the White House and reveals once and for all what actually happened, and who got away with what. Combining outstanding investigative reporting with exclusive insider information, this fascinating expose travels from the court rooms to the canvassing boards to the corridors of the legislature, as Tapper paints vivid portraits of all the major players, revealing shocking details about what happened behind closed doors, what deals were cut, and who did what to whom.

Finally, Tapper delivers his wickedly perceptive insight onto the two men at the center of it all: Al Gore--the cold, ruthless, and uninspiring technocrat who constantly sold out his friends, staffers, and values in pursuit of power--and George W. Bush, the man who would be President--a brilliant schmoozer and deft liar with the intellectual inquisitiveness of the average fern.

Expect Down and Dirty to ignite a firestorm of debate now that the reality of the Bush presidency dawns on the American public.
